Military service I was reading about military service in my country and the complains that some people have about it and I felt with anger because recently the institution that recruits people is making some operating to obligate young people to go and spend at least one year making military activities. I mean, some of them are working and they are led to a military station just because they don't have a card that proves that they can't join to the military. I think that at least the institution that recruits people should have another procedures that avoid this kind of situations for people who is working for their families, or people who is studying at the moment. In my case, I was not in military because my brother, who was there, told me that my time would be better invested by studying. He was there because he was turning into a problem for my mother, because he just went to partyes and he didn't make anything at home.

Importance of english Well, taking into account that I'm new in this site. I would like to write something about why english is important for me. I live in Medellín and altought It was considered last year as the most innovative city I think that we need to make a great effort to teach our citizens that english is an important plus if we want to get more opportunities in a globalized world. I think that in general in our country, people is not paying enough attention to the importance of english and that is, in part, due to the way that teachers teach us english since highschool, but we can't excpect so much from them since they are not well prepared too. Maybe the government investment on this topic has to be more, and more intelligent, because the way that they have sold english until now, has not had effective. I hope that people realize the importance of english, and for my part, even taking into account that my english is not perfect at all, I'll try to help to my community to understand the benefits to learn another language, and specially english
